This is Neville Trickett's racer, which I believe was Imp powered, although I'm not totally sure.
It's photographed here outside Rob Walker's Corsley garage where the duo worked on the MiniSprint project at the time (so 1966 or 1967).

Quite so! It is indeed Imp-based. Pictured alongside the Isuzu Bellett that Trickett also raced at the time
